I sure don’t like this date anymore, but pray its a peaceful day. Remembering

My grandmother passed away the day before 9/11, so it’s always a hard time for me because I can remember so many emotions from the 11th. I do everything that I can to stay busy the 10 and 11th and honor her by not spending those days crying. I try to keep my focus on my kids.

I’m so sorry Sara… it’s hard enough to lose them but to do it on a big date like that, well it never gets easier…
my Dad passed on Good Friday… my Grandpa on Christmas eve… I keep busy with the family too.

The humidity is high and
The smoky smell is receding.
That DH and company knew exactly how to clean up this morning and did it without my help.
That I live in such a good location for walking places.
For God’s grace.

Beautiful weather. Okay, it’s too hot, but I can’t complain. I love it this time of year because I know I’ll miss it soon.

Matt playing with legos and not being mad that dumb mommy mixed them all in a big bin and realized it after I had already done it. Makes it very hard to assemble according to directions when there are multiple kits in a giant bin. oops, sorry little guy!
